UCL (University College London) is London's leading multidisciplinary university, with 11,000 staff and 35,000 students from 150 different countries. Founded in 1826 in the heart of London, UCL was the first university in England to welcome students of any class, race or religion, and the first to welcome women on equal terms with men.

Today, we are consistently ranked among the world's top universities. Our excellence extends across all academic disciplines, from one of Europe's largest and most productive centres for biomedical science to world-renowned centres for architecture (UCL Bartlett) and fine art (UCL Slade School).

Professor Dame Anne Johnson (UCL Infection & Population Health) was Principal Investigator on the third National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal-3), the most detailed picture yet of the British population's sex lives over the past 10 years. This series of five short videos highlights some of the findings relevant to young people and features UCL students' views on the survey's statistics.

Published in the Lancet and led by UCL in partnership with the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and NatCen Social Research, the study involved interviewing more than 15,000 adults aged 16-74 between September 2010 and August 2012.
